I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

When I was in my early twenties I was doing tenant organizing - rent strikes, specifically - in my building. I think that was how I started doing poster art. It was something very concrete.

With what we've been taught is the proper role of art, which is that you want to have it very neatly matted and framed and put on a white wall in some room where only a certain class of people are going to go in.

We all know artists who like to collaborate, who like to work as a team. It all kind of depends what your habitual working method is.

Street posters allowed you to have the last word. If you put them up in your neighborhood, you were speaking to your neighbor.

Art is one of the few places where you can put it in a constructive way where it won't burn you up inside or hurt anyone.

Infiltrating the mainstream was a natural extension of my street art. I've always tried to communicate ideas to the public as directly as possible.
